The Scottish and French Enlightenments are arguably the two
intellectual movements of the eighteenth century that were the most
influential in shaping the modern age. The essays in Scotland and
France in the Enlightenment explore a wide range of topics of
historical relevance to eighteenth-century scholars, while engaging
students with broad interdisciplinary interests in the humanities
and social sciences. The ways in which Scottish philosophy
influenced French painting, how the Encyclopaedia Britannica
presented the French Revolution, the impact of Macpherson's Ossian
on the development of French Romanticism, the moral education of
children, the relation between reflection and perception in the
arts and in moral life, humankind's relationship to other animals,
and the links between violence and imagination, and fear and
sanity, are only some of the topics covered. This challenging
selection of essays comparing Scottish and French enlightenment
views of natural history, jurisprudence, moral philosophy, history
and art history complicates and enriches the notion of
"Enlightenment," and will inaugurate a new field of Franco-Scottish
studies.
